Why am I insecure about my university?
I go to a university that isn't ranked in the top 200 world schools. For me, that's no a big deal because I love it there. It's a small university and the professors really look after you. My girlfriend, however, goes to a top 20 school and constantly tells me how loyal the alumni are, how only the top 10% of best students get into the university, how challenging her course is, etc.
It may be me that's having insecurity about not being able to afford the $60,000 a year to go to such a school but I feel happy where I am and I just want to tell her to just stop it with the bragging!
Do you think I have a right to do this? I don't think it's in her nature to brag but the environment in which she is exposed to (high class and 'elite' students from this university) seems to make her susceptible to such things.
Any advice will be great.

You certainly have the right to tell her to quit bragging. Seriously, it makes me feel bad that she's being like that, it's awesome that you're stoked about the school you go to regardless of its status...she shouldn't be acting the way she is, and I think it'd be best if you called her out on it. Bragging is just hurtful. There's no need for it.
Let her speak and then tell her how good u fill in ur school, cause teacher's actually look after u, and just tell ur side and be happy about it and make her notice that..:p
